About my artwork: The works of Anastasia Katsidis are inspired by objects of everyday use. Her interest lies in revealing complex cohesions in social systems, which show themselves in the simplicity of used objects. In the reproduction of existing objects, she tries to build them in a modified and abstract way. By doing this, she makes the collected objects recognizable and lets them initiate associations and dialogues between the personal memory of the spectator and her objects.
Besides her objects Anastasia Katsidis creates wall writings and poems which consist of manipulated everyday statements. By reducing and simplifying the statements she tries to reach a concetrated essence and to create surreal manifestations that are trying to reach the spectator in a direct but humorous way.

Artists I like: francis alys, panamarenko, yves netzhammer, katarina fritsch, maurizio cattelan, hubbard/birchler, gregor schneider, roman signer
